Prior to the Chakra collection walking down the runway of Knoxville Fashion Week's Grand Finale, Kelly Jones (of Shadow Oak Maille) and Diane Corey (of KC Leatherwerks) spent months creating each look. The collection is based on the chakras of Middle Eastern religion, which focus on power points of the body. Each power point is represented by its own color. Through a combination of leather and chainmaille, each chakra and its matching color were brought to life by these two talented designers.

Here's a peek behind-the-scenes at how some of the looks originated and came to completion over the past weeks/months.
